As others have described, this is a warm grey-beige with a shimmer that's a sheen, not a glitter. Goes perfectly with cooler colors like taupes, greys, pinks etc. Spreads really easily and stays...

Love this stuff; I got it super cheap on Ebay; I guess its discontinued now. It is a bit paler than my NW20 skin but is perfect as a slightly shimmery base and really helps my eyeshadow stay put. ...

Very happy with this color. On my NC15-20ish skin, this eyeshadow looks exactly like my skincolor with just the slightest shimmer. It covers everything on my eyelid and gives me the clean,...

I rated the package quality of Paint a 5 because it's so hygienic. I have not had a problem with wasted product, other than the first time I opened the tube. Actually, this product could last me...

This is the ONLY eye makeup item I'd call HG. For that matter, I don't even have one lip or face item I wear more than the rest... but Chiaroscuro is my fluke, amazing find. It's not all that...

I picked up this shade a couple weeks ago after discovering how amazing the product is with my initial purchase of Architecture. I was looking for a slightly shimmery nude/light brown color and...

Great product! I exchanged Bare Canvas for this one. I liked Bare Canvas, but I wanted something with a little more color. The MUA recommended Chiaroscuro, at first I was a little hesitant because...

Awesome product! :o) I did read the reviews for this too before purchasing but I wouldn't say this is the shimmery version of Bare Canvas like others say. I love Bare Canvas but this is a very cool...

I would describe the color of this paint as a cool beige with slight shimmer. I bought it on a whim at the closest MAC counter to me, which is over an hour from my house. When I got home, I...

Chiaroscuro paint is a very nice alternative for olive/darker complected women to use as a neutral e/s base instead of Bare Canvas or Stilife. I was able to work with both, but on my NC40 skin...
